Smart Gloves for Blind Person using Ultrasonic Sensor & Arduino Nano

This paper presents the design and development of smart gloves aimed at enhancing the mobility and independence of blind individuals. The proposed system integrates an Arduino Nano microcontroller with an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles in the user’s path. The ultrasonic sensor continuously scans the surroundings and provides real-time feedback to the wearer through haptic feedback mechanisms incorporated into the gloves. The system employs vibration patterns to convey the proximity and location of obstacles, allowing the user to navigate safely and confidently in various environments. Additionally, the compact and lightweight nature of the Arduino Nano ensures portability and ease of use. The effectiveness of the smart gloves was evaluated through user testing, demonstrating promising results in improving the mobility and autonomy of visually impaired individuals. This innovative solution has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for blind individuals by providing them with greater freedom of movement and increased safety in their daily activities.
